ANCHOR for Military Families Act

This bill would require the Secretary of Defense to give service members and their families information about relocation help when they receive orders to move to a new permanent duty station. The information must be provided at least 45 days before the move and must cover family assistance, housing, mental health support, education resources for children, and legal and financial counseling. It would also add school enrollment, education systems, and special education services, including transferring individualized education programs, to existing relocation assistance. The Secretary would need to create a communication strategy, survey families about their satisfaction with the information, and brief Congress each year for up to four years.
